Abstract

Practising pig vets may well spend 70% of their clinical time investigating respiratory diseases in growing and finishing pigs. This short review attempts to cover the various pathogens that can affect the pig's respiratory tract. It explores methods of examination to help unravel the underlying causes of respiratory disease on farms. Biosecurity routines, which should be employed to protect a farm from novel pathogens entering pig units, are not considered.
